    Tron and Cosmic Rewind vs. Hagrid (intensity level)

    I think we have similar ride sensibilities! I don't like drops - Tower of Terror was a one and done for me. And Hagrid's is close to my limit for ride intensitiy. Though I did find it easier each time I rode it - and I do love it! Tron is very easy, in my opinion. Lots of fun, but easy...

    Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2024 Edition

    We are fifty-something adults who had never read the books - though I've bought them now LOL - and we loved the show! Your niece does some excellent work - please tell her two random people in NC loved her performance and all the nuance she brought to the role.

    Rumored Changes to G+

    We've used Genie+ 3 times now and found it easy and convenient. We go in less busy times - most recently January 6-13 - and that helps, I'm sure. But it's well worth it for us. I don't feel like I was on my phone all day, but perceptions certainly vary. I was also "friends" with the...

    Disney After Hours Q&A and Experiences Thread

    We attended both of the events last week - Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. Both were, for us, well worth the ticket price. Rise was a walk-on, and Tron was about 20 minutes once we were past the first hour. We loved that we got to see "Enchantment" fireworks in the middle of the MK event...

    Soarin’ Over California Returning to Epcot Until Feb 27, 2024!

    It was wonderful to see Soarin' Over California last week! I recognize that the transitions are better in "World" but I prefer "California" because of the scents and the fact that it is mostly real filmed footage - not just CGI. I like "World", but find the distortion very distracting. I wish...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    In the 70s and 80s waits were well over an hour for every E ticket ride during school breaks. I remember those days well! And Frozen standby has been looooooong every time I've been to Disney -no matter what line options were available.

    Plaza Inn MSEP Reserved Viewing: Keep or Cancel?

    We just did it today and I thought it was 100% worth it! The food was good and the viewing space was great. I do have a slight obsession with this parade though :)

    Worth adding an extra day for 4-5 hours?

    Our flight arrives at 11:00 and we have a park ticket for that day. Of course we're going mainly to see the MSEP so being there in the evening makes sense for us :-)

    No more Prince or Princesses

    I know lots of little kids who don't necessarily present as their gender (assigned at birth or otherwise). And I think it's unreasonable to ask children to laugh it off (and rather mean to ask adults to do it as well). In an ideal world maybe it wouldn't matter or wouldn't hurt. But we don't...

    No more Prince or Princesses

    Misgendered children really shouldn't be asked to just "laugh it off". I'm glad Disney is being more gender-neutral in their language. I'm fine with being called Friend at Disney - it's a happy place and I like the camaraderie of everyone being friends (even though I know that isn't true). I...

    I Haven't Been To Disneyland Since Last March Which Is Make It Difficult To Come Back

    Getting park reservations isn't hard with regular tickets. We purchased tickets for a very last minute trip and both parks were available both days. I know it isn't the same as having an annual pass (we had them in FL for a time) but it's definitely possible to make trips - even at the last...

    Paradise Pier or DLH

    I love the WOC view from PPH. We've stayed there a couple of times in the past and have really enjoyed seeing the later show from our room. I also like waking up to a view of the park. It's been a few years since we were there, so maybe the quality has declined, but we've always been pleased...

    Brown Derby Lounge Shrimp and Grits?

    Is there anywhere that currently serves the amazing shrimp and grits they used to have at the Brown Derby Lounge? That was my husband's favorite meal and I'd love to find it for him again.

    Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package - Opening October 1

    I ended up booking for 4 even though we only have 2. I'm going to call later to see if I can change it to 2. If I can't I may see if any folks here who couldn't get November 18 would like to join us :-)

    Dessert Parties return to the Magic Kingdom & also California Grill

    The dates I listed are just the Celebration at the Top. I think the in-park parties are a lot more nights.
